First Friday, Same Time, Same Place, Aug. 9 ---- Yes!

Greetings all, and please spread the word.  We will meet for First Friday tomorrow, August 9, in Woolson House at 6:30 rain or shine.  You have the choice, if you want to share you work, to bring copies for about 15, or fewer and we can share, or if you don't have copies, we'll just listen and comment.  Remember however that your allotted block of time under normal circumstances (if there are more than 15 or so in the room)  is ten minutes, and if you read ten minutes, there won't be time to discuss the work in the group.  Sometimes that's okay -- you may not want discussion, may just want to hear your piece read aloud so you can get some perspective.  Sometimes we go beyond ten minutes (when attendance is down and we have the luxury of time per person).  First Friday is getting very good now -- you might have noticed, and so we will have to have a discussion one of these nights about publication, about self-publication, and about marketing the work which you'll have to do in either case.  It's always good to think about it from the other end, too.  If you want peeps to buy your book, you should be buy the books of others, too.  Every book by a friend we read improves our own writing.  See you tomorrow night.  -- Phil
